My commute has gone from a 10 min cycle into work with the occasional bit of bad driving witnessed to an hour along the tow path with only a couple of dog walkers (and dogs), one or two other cyclists, the odd cow and several geese competing for space.
I don't feelt that my previous commute was particularly stressful, but this is SO GOOD. I get to work nice and relaxed. I've seen some cool stuff on the way - this morning is was a second clutch of ducklings huddling on the path for warmth, other days it's a heron or moorhen chicks etc - I've got my heart rate up a bit and loosened up the legs. This morning it was raining and I got stung by nettles and scratched by thistles... Still loved it. 10/10 will ride again :)
